A group has been formed to draw up plans for a new Village Hall. Watch this space for more details.

New Village Hall Project

Since the Committee's establishment at the start of 2012, it has reviewed site options, user requirements (both existing and future),space needs and costs of a new multi purpose village hall. It is currently finalising a hopefully extended village hall site , preparing a development brief and seeking out professional advice for the outline design of a building, and will soon submit grant applications for financial support.

Community information is taking the form of a newsletter distributed to local households, and a community meeting when an outline design has been prepared.

January 2013 news:

The initial applications for financial assistance have been completed. While designs for a new village hall are developing, the support of people in the community becomes essential, so that the right facilities are chosen for different users. This is your opportunity to take part in the project by offering ideas and maybe a few skills that will be needed in the complicated work of preparing the details. Contact post@llanbedr.com to offer your contribution – there is no obligation to attend committee meetings! – your interest in taking part will be most useful.

April 2013 update -The architect has been appointed to produce outline plans for a new building on an extended site at the location of the present village hall. The aim is to provide facilities for the whole community, and your support is essential if the right building is to be realized. Please contact post@llanbedr.com or a community councillor to push forward your ideas for the benefit of all residents in the community.

Côr Meibion Ardudwy has been an integral part of the Llanbedr community for 60 years, and the Village Hall has been used continuously as a practice centre throughout that time.

The Huchenfeld Accordion Band visited the area during the week 20-26 May 2013. We enjoyed great performances by the Accordion Band together with Côr Meibion Ardudwy. _______________________________________________
